“Batman: The Smile Killer”

In Batman: The Smile Killer #1, Batman’s hunt for the Joker takes a chilling turn as fragmented memories surface—of a twisted children’s TV puppet named Mister Smiles, whose eerie influence reached into the Dark Knight’s childhood. Written by Jeff Lemire and brought to life with haunting art by Andrea Sorrentino, this story blends psychological dread with the legacy of a sinister clown, all wrapped in Jordie Bellaire’s moody colors and Steve Wands’ sharp lettering. The cover, also by Sorrentino, captures the unsettling elegance of a smile that never fades.
